Sexual reproductive health rights
Women’s human rights
Residents of Mathare informal settlement especially adolescent girls and young women face tremendous challenges in relation to sexual and reproductive health.
Right to be free from torture
This is occasioned by inadequate access to health information and services on puberty, sexuality, contraceptive and prevention of STIS and HIV
These underlying factors lead to high rates of early pregnancy, STIs & HIV infections, sexual violence, and early and forced marriage.
Right to privacy.
To address this challenges, MCFP is funded by THE RAIN WORKERS https://www.therainworkers.org/en to train a team Rain Workers to create awareness on sexual reproductive health rights in schools, youth centers, vocational training centers and community at large.
The rain workers also refer adolescents, youth and community members in need of SRH services to health facilities within Mathare informal settlement.
We really appreciate your help and support.
It is essential to recognize the uniqueness and importance of each child and ensure they have the right to grow up in a safe and nurturing environment.
